Finnish rail company developing multimodal ticketing

Finnish state railway company VR is working on the development of an intermodal ticketing service that will seamlessly connect rail services with other modes of public transportation.

Once travellers select a starting point and destination, the system will choose the most functional mode of travel and route.
